Broken Glass Metropolis
I really enjoy poetry and free verse and thought perhaps starting a thread and throwing some of my old works in it will give me a nudge to write more often. I'll add more as I sift though.
I'll start with a favorite:
ETA: (I wrote this one before using the screen name Metropolis... so in that, the use of the word metropolis is not in reference to myself)
Broken Glass Metropolis
City at night-
City of light
Offer up your riches
and promise so sweet
You lift them high
up to the sky-
Then throw broken bottles
at my feet
Hope smouldering
in aged smoke stacks
lighted silently
by faint moon-
The clouds scurry
churning swiftly
as stars come to see
the city swoon-
Its concrete arms
reach threatening.
City at night-
City of light-
Broken glass metropolis
turn me inside out
take me
break me
Lift me high
above the night
Make me
whole again
Whispering
midnight winds
come lay me down
beside wet streets-
To tell me
of the sweetest dreams
then throw broken bottles
at my feet.
